# 10-Q cash-flow XBRL values are year-to-date

**Observed 2026-10-08** via Pipeworx `edgar_company_concept(CAPR, NetCashProvidedByUsedInOperatingActivities, period quarterly)`.

The "Q2 2026" value is −$60,740,078 with period_start 2026-01-01 and period_end 2026-06-30 — six months, not one quarter. Q1 is −$29,254,891 (Jan–Mar). Treating the Q2 row as one quarter doubles the burn.

Per-quarter burn = YTD(n) − YTD(n−1): Q2 2026 = −$31,485,187.

The `period_start` field shows this, so the data is correct; the trap is reading `fiscal_period: Q2` as a three-month figure. This is how SEC filers report cash-flow statements, not a Pipeworx quirk. Pipeworx `sec-xbrl.get_liquidity_runway` already computes trailing-twelve-month burn as annual + current YTD − prior YTD.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
